window size ie 6 (98 2nd ed)

Since updating my IE, when I open a second window such as clicking on a link and choosing open in new window, the new window opens at half size. I have tried dragging a corner to resize it but when I click a new link IE does the same thing. On my XP machine new windows open at full size like my other computers used to do. Any ideas? It's not a big deal, just annoying.

After stretching the window, it might matter how you close it. I have read here the suggestion that you hold the shift key when you click the X in the upper right corner. Or was it the ctrl key? Or maybe use File

Jefferson and jrclen--

The Ctrl key usually works for me, and I've seen hints with the shift key but the operative word is usually. I don't know of a guaranteed way. I have been resizing windows to help make screen shots smaller to get the resizing out of the way up front it I can, and "resize/Ctrl key close" has been 'knock on wood' working well in XP/IE6.

And it has been working well whether it's a folder including Explorer even on OE, and I know OE has been a problem for some people because it doesn't like to remember full window size under a lot of circumstances. There doesn't seem to be a definite 100% sure-fire cure for window resizing, even using the Registry and I'm not sure if this varies with different operating systems. I wonder if the Mac users have any window resizing problems.

I have this happen many times. I get mixed up between the Ctrl & Shift key, so I click the X with BOTH keys. However, that isn't enough. It must be the last window closed (why I don't know). So,
1. Start IE.
2. Open a new window.
3. Resize the new window.
4. Close the original window.
5. NOW, click the X with the shift & ctrl key pressed.
6. Saying the alphabet backwards. Well, it can't hurt, can it? <img src=/S/grin.gif border=0 alt=grin width=15 height=15>
